Transparency and Trust

El Mercurio de Valparaíso, June 18, 2019

Recently, the Council for Transparency reported on a meeting between the President of that organization and the Commander in Chief of the Army, indicating that the purpose was to discuss issues of integrity and transparency to address the crisis of trust affecting institutions such as the Armed Forces. It might be beneficial for the CPLT to review the public opinion survey by CADEM from Monday, June 10, and examine the section evaluating the top 14 institutions in Chile.

In the top six positions are the civil registry, the armed forces, and the police. There are another eight institutions rated lower. I suggest exercising more caution with the ratings and being more aligned with reality. If there is supposedly a crisis of trust with the institutions leading the survey, imagine what that means for those at the bottom.
